Would you consider
substituting?
The Delaney and
Roderick Schools are searching for parents who are interested in being trained
to fulfill the role of substitute teacher. The benefits include parent friendly
hours, collaboration with a fantastic, dedicated professional staff, and
learning about the curriculum from a different perspective!
If you are interested,
please submit your application under the Employment Opportunities section of
the WPS website.

Dear Parents,
It is with mixed emotions
that I announce that I have been offered a principalship in the Medfield Public
Schools for the 2015 - 2016 school year. I was offered the position after
completing a process that included two rounds of interviews, a site visit at
the Dale Street School in Medfield, and a site visit here at the Roderick
School.
While I am excited for this new challenge of working in a larger school
district (PreK - 12), I have very mixed emotions about leaving Wrentham. I have
spent my entire 18 year professional career in the town of Wrentham. The
relationships that I have made in Wrentham hold a very special place in my
heart. I am very proud of what we have all achieved over the past 18 years and
I feel truly blessed to have spent my time in Wrentham working with eager and
able students, supportive families, and knowledgeable, dedicated educators.
At the School Committee meeting tomorrow night, Dr. Cameron and the School
Committee will begin to discuss the process for seeking a new principal for the
Roderick School. Dr. Cameron will keep
you updated of this process.
My work here at the Roderick School is not done. I look forward to spending the
next month working with staff and students to complete all the work we have
planned to accomplish during the 2014 – 2015 school year.
Thank you all for your continued support of the Roderick School and me. Please
feel free to contact me with any questions.
Very truly yours,
Stephen S. Grenham
